For the benefit of others who may be lurking, the policies are:
svc interval keep
---------------------------------------------
auto-snapshot:frequent 15 mins 4
auto-snapshot:hourly 1 hours 24
auto-snapshot:daily 1 days 31
auto-snapshot:weekly 7 days 4
auto-snapshot:monthly 1 months 12
My little PHP script (yes, I use PHP for shell scripting) does a
perfect job of what I need and I got a neat idea from Brad Stone about
rolling up daily snapshots into monthly snapshots, which would roll up
into yearly snapshots...
For scripting wizards, the same table is available from:
$ for i in frequent hourly daily weekly monthly; do
echo $i $(svcprop -p zfs/period auto-snapshot:$i) $(svcprop -p
zfs/interval auto-snapshot:$i) keep $(svcprop -p zfs/keep auto-snapshot:$i)
done
frequent 15 minutes keep 4
hourly 1 hours keep 24
daily 1 days keep 31
weekly 7 days keep 4
monthly 1 months keep 12

Well, I could just use the same script to create my daily snapshot to
remove a snapshot with the same prefix, just different date (say, keep
30 days only or something)
NB the autosnapshot feature (aka Time Slider Manager) already
has this capability.
My hope was to just keep a running archive indefinitely. But I guess
snapshots are only as good as needed, and I doubt I will realize I
need a file I lost 6+ months ago...
famous last words... :-)
